Adenosine is a natural substance manufacturers may use in cosmetic and skin care products. Evidence suggests that adenosine can soothe skin and support wound healing and the natural functioning of the skin. Proponents also indicate it may possess anti-aging properties. Adenosine is a relatively new ingredient in skin care formulations, with some evidence suggesting that it can help the skin look younger, brighter, and smoother.

Adenosine is a skin care ingredient that may have anti-aging, soothing, repairing, and restoring properties. Manufacturers add it to many skin care products, especially eye serums and anti-aging creams. It is present in minimal concentrations, making it likely to be at the bottom of the list of ingredients. Research indicates that adenosine is safe for all skin types and nonirritating and has no known adverse effects.
